The Crazy Truth
The Crazy Truth | By Gemma June Howell
In 1984, Girlo Wolf is born into a world of pickets and poverty. Life on The Rock is precious, but growing-up is far from easy. Struggling with life-long mental health challenges and the repercussions of childhood trauma, she falls into a dark underworld of sex, drugs and alcohol.
With the stories of her working-class community driving her, she seeks social mobility through education and pursues her dream of becoming a poet. She channels her lived experiences into her writing and soon discovers that her words are a conduit to recovery, survivorhood and empowerment.
A gut-punching tribute to the reality of life in post-industrial south Wales, Gemma June Howell’s debut novel is an authentic portrayal of the intergenerational struggles of working-class communities and one woman’s journey to empowerment.
